HC Deb 15 June 1971 vol 819 cc43-4W
28. Mr. Hugh Jenkins

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer to what extent value-added tax is applied to the theatre and the cinema in Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway and Italy, respectively.

Mr. Higgins

Value-added tax is applied generally to the theatre and cinema admissions in all these countries, with the exception of Italy, where the tax has not yet been introduced, and France, where there is a separate entertainments tax.
